So this looks like there was no backup of hda2 from ha-node01 on that tape. Should there have been?

Yes, in the email from amanda stand:

And that looks like either a corrupted file on tape, a bad gzip, or hardware problems.

What Linux distro are you running, and what version of tar is there? If there's a 2.2.17 kernel laying around, it's gotta' be old...

I use Debian 3.0 (woody)

Linux amanda 2.2.18pre21 #1 Sat Nov 18 18:47:15 EST 2000 i586 unknown
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25

Is the kernel to old?
